More frobbing of the mail-summary-display script. It now
uses Mail::Folder, GetArgs::Std and MuttAliasas, and runs
faster to boot. I know this probably isn't something
anybody else is ever going to use
because there are zillions of them out there ... To answer
Skud's good Quality Vs Quantity article, I
guess it's my getting-back-into-coding-again version of
"Hello World". I'll get better.

On the useful-to-the-world side of life, I emailed
modules@perl.org about a new module that parses and does
lookups and reverse-lookups of Mutt aliases files. It's all
written and is being used (see above) but it needs a proper
name before I upload it to CPAN.

Tried to frob my mail-summary-displaying script to use
Mail::Folder instead of doing it by hand. Of course I tried
to do this when I was feeling hideous and not in any
condition for programming so I totally fscked up the
script. Thank heavens for backups.

Yes, I know there's lots of scripts out there that do
this but this one's mine and it does some slightly
weirdass stuff like getting my voice synth to announce who's
writing me mail, etc. Besides, it's a good easy way of
getting back into hacking. I'll fix it tomorrow when I'm
feeling better.

Finished the Mail2News Mini-HOWTO yesterday and got it
uploaded to the LDP.
It had been sitting around nearly-finished since last
November so I'm very glad it's done.

Updated gfr
(mostly documentation changes) and uploaded that this
morning. I'm really getting back into this coding gig.

I love hacking away at scripts. One day I'm going
to get my act together and write a cross between slrn and
Mutt using Perl and about a zillion Perl modules. It's
going to be called PMinor. One day ... *wanders off
into dreamland*

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser
code is live. It needs further work but already handles most
markup better than the original parser.
